Yes: I would recommend discussing your symptoms with your Dr and have him look at the bruising. Depending on the medications you were prescribed after the stroke, your Dr may need to adjust them. Medications like Coumadin can be difficult to keep at the desired level, and if it is too high you can get bruising. If you are not on Coumadin, but another blood thinner I would still check with your Dr.
